Kemajl Avdiu (born 22 December 1976) is a Swedish former footballer.
Continuing his career at Bury from Esbjerg fB, Avdiu stayed with the Shakers until 2000, [19] totaling 27 appearances and one goal.[ citation needed ]
Meanwhile, his family was trying to survive the Kosovo War (1998-1999), afraid to leave due to the threat of the Yugoslavian army. [20] His family, including himself supported the NATO bombing of the country, [20] [21] but some of his relatives had not been accounted for, even though most fled to Albania. [21] The then 22-year old, feeling fortunate to be safe, also expressed concern for his Austria-based friend who was thinking of enrolling in the Kosovo Liberation Army. [21]
When the conflict was over, Avdiu hoped that his parents would retire in Kosovo. [20]
Loaned out to Partick Thistle from April to May 1999, the Swede put the Jags 2-0 up over East Fife on debut, but they came back 2-2. [22] [23] Despite this, he remained a fans' favorite. [22] The day before, he volunteered to pack supplies to help people affected by the Kosovo War, expressing disquiet at the situation but also fortunate that there were many volunteers. [23]
